Gearing up for spring
Spring is approaching and it’s time to put snowy excuses behind us and crack on. It’s time for some action so seeds have been debated, listed and purchased (50% off at the local garden centre) ready for planting. We now have tens of little envelopes of hope waiting to be potted up and nurtured into our first harvest.
With help from the Marshalls we’ve been able to resurrect our broken polytunnel. The e-bay Polytunnel frame (x2) didn’t make it through two bouts of late November winds. Six metal fence posts and 25m of thick electrical cable tube later and we think we have have a solution.
